I believe that makeup is personal, and I customize my services accordingly to ensure that you look and feel your best.
To ensure a long-lasting, picture-perfect look, I use only high-quality professional products and brands that I trust.
I’m a perfectionist when it comes to your satisfaction. I won’t stop working until your makeup is flawless and perfectly blended.
I’m certified, licensed, and insured.
I’ve been a makeup artist in CT for over 17 years so I know how to work with all different skin types, skin tones and ages so I know what works and what doesn’t.
I am always striving to achieve excellence in current makeup application and teaching by attending makeup workshops with training as well as trade shows that showcase the latest products and techniques.
If you need hair services, I have hair stylists I’ve vetted and trust to refer you to. I’ll even check their availabillty for you.
Prices subject to change at any time. Only contracted rates will be honored.
Gratuity is greatly appreciated but not required.
An early morning fee of $175 (per artist) for each hour prior to 8 AM will be added. Hotel accommodations are required for the night prior when the start time is 8 AM or earlier, or the travel time is an hour or more and the start time is 8 AM or earlier.
A Holiday Service Fee of $300 will be added to all services booked on major holiday weekends (ex, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day, etc.)
A non-refundable, non-transferable retainer (50% of the wedding day makeup total) and a signed agreement are required to reserve a date. A trial does NOT reserve your date without a paid non-refundable retainer.
